The Orto Botanico dell’Università Politecnica delle Marche, also known as the Selva di Gallignano or Orto Botanico di Ancona, is a university botanical garden and research site near Ancona that protects local plant biodiversity.

It combines a small botanical collection with a rare surviving woodland area, making it useful for both conservation and environmental education. The garden is also used for guided visits, school activities, and public outreach, so it works as both a living laboratory and a place to learn about nature.
